Get multiple cards from one sheet of Designer Paper! Video & free project sheet too.

I shared these beautiful cards on a Live video a few weeks ago. I wanted to make the most of one of my favorite sheets of the Valley in Bloom designer series paper. It’s discounted through August!

You can get more cards than I show above but I mistakenly cut in the wrong place and missed out on more. This pack of Valley in Bloom DSP has many beautiful sheets in it. Get some while it’s on sale.

I recommend cutting the 12 X 12″ sheet into 6 pieces at 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″. The two center pieces won’t have as much greenery on them but you could change the layout up a bit to reflect that.

My colors include Pretty Peacock with Old Olive & White. I used a variety of punches for my greetings; mostly from my stash of White elements.

The card bases are 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 2 1/8″ & 4 1/4″. I made sure the Olive layer was small enough that the White inside piece shows as an inside layer. You can see the free project sheet with measurements, photos and supplies when you click here.

I stamped the inside of the cards with the Lily of the Valley stamp set and colored the flowers in with a Blender pen. I love this bundle so much. You can see it here.

You can see the video for this card and one more below. Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel!

  I packaged my November kits to go this weekend and still have a few left!  If you're wanting to make and send homemade Christmas cards this year, I can help you out.  I have two choices:

  First is the Sweetest Christmas fun fold cards:  

  

  This kit includes 10 cards and $20 in products so you can make even more with the leftover designer paper, ribbon and adhesive backed sequins. 

  You'll need mostly greeting stamps (I used the Sweet Candy Canes & Trees for Sale), inks, adhesives & a paper trimmer.  Inks are Real Red, Garden Green & Pool Party

  It's $25 & includes the following: 

  • 10 pre-cut cards – all pieces are pre-cut, die-cut or punched (except your new designer paper)
  • 1/2 pkg of the Sweetest Christmas DSP (6 X 12")
  • a share of Garden Green ribbon and Adhesive-Backed sequins 
  • 10 envelopes
  • the PDF tutorial with photos, measurements, supplies and step by step directions

  The other option is my Christmas Stamp a Stack card kit.  

  

  This kit includes 12 pre-cut cards – 3 each of these 4 cards.  Everything is cut or punched for you.  Nothing is stamped but you can use any stamp set you want to finish them. 

  I used the following inks:  Soft Succulent, Evergreen, Cherry Cobbler, Real Red, Garden Green, Pool Party, Night of Navy, Versamark & silver embossing, Shaded Spruce and Poppy Parade.

• Snowman Magic WOW card; amazing work by Candace!

  November 21, 2022

  ---

  Last weekend we held our monthly Flowerbug's Team swap.  Our theme was fun folds!  I know you're going to love seeing their wonderful creations. 

  Today I'm sharing two cards featuring the Santa Express designer paper. This first is made by Candace. She used the Snowman Magic bundle seen here in the 2022 Holiday Catalog.  

  Amazing, right?!  

  It folds flat for mailing and fits in a standard A2 envelope.  

  

  I'm going to do my best to provide the correct card stock measurements for this:  

  • Shaded Spruce 2 pieces at 4" X 6" score on the long sides at 2" & 5 1/2"; turn and score on the short side at 2".  Cut up to the score lines and trim off the extra 1/2" strip.  
  • inside pieces are 1" X 5 1/2" scored at 3/4" from both ends.  The scored ends are folded and adhered to the outer edges of the box inside. 

  She used 1/4" strips of Window Sheets to hold up the snowflakes and holly.  The snowmen, trees and bunny are adhered to the box and inside strips.  It's so darn cute! 

  

  All of these elements are in the Snowman Magic bundle! 

  

  Next is another incredible card made by Brenda; she chose to use the Santa Express designer paper also and added the coordinating Santa's Delivery bundle to hers.

  

  It's a side-step fun fold card.  She chose to use Petal Pink and Pear Pizzazz for her card base & layers.  I love the jumping penguins and that smoke stack!  

  Here are the measurements:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 6" scored in half at 4 1/4".  Then make a mark at the 1" and at 6 3/8" at the 3" mark across.  
  • Now you'll cut from those marks down the center of the card.  
  • Next score up to the cut line at 1", 2", 3 1/4" and 6 3/8" 

  

  She cut the trains from the Santa Express designer paper using the Santa's Train dies; which coordinate perfectly.  The cute penguins & smoke are stamped, colored & die-cut.  They're added with 1/4" strips of Window sheets so they pop up and flutter when opened.  Just adorable!  

  See the Santa's Train bundle here and the Santa Express DSP here. 

  

  Remember some of these items can sell out before the catalog ends.  Already we are out of the Lights Aglow specialty DSP.

  I'm continuing to share some favorites; this time projects featuring Annual Catalog products.  Do you remember these?

  First is a group of cards made with the Hues of Happiness designer paper; filled with bright colors, florals and washed backgrounds.  See it here.  

  

   

  Next is one of my favorite cards featuring the Nature's Prints stamp set & Natural Prints dies.  *The pretty dotted border is from the Blossoming Happiness dies.  

  
  

  This next card is one I made for a big card swap.  It features the Pretty Pop-Ups dies seen here.  Love that they're reduced from $32 to $25.60.

  

  This pretty card features the Flowers of Home bundle – it's a better deal to order the Blessings of Home stamp set and Flowers of Home dies separately during this sale.  You'll save over $5.
